A team at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering has advanced a critical step in fabrication of Perovskite solar cells: p-type doping of organic hole-transporting materials within the cells. The research, CO2 doping of organic interlayers for perovskite solar cells, appears in Nature.
New research from the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering investigates the use of microgrids printed with particle-free silver inks, demonstrating its advantages when compared with other particle-based inks. The paper is published in ACS Applied Electronic Materials and is featured on a supplemental cover of the journal.
The myriad processes occurring in biological cells may seem unbelievably complex at first glance. And yet, in principle, they are merely a logical succession of events, and could even be used to form digital circuits. Researchers have now developed a molecular switching circuit made of DNA, which can be used to mechanically alter gels, depending on the pH. DNA-based switching circuits could have applications in soft robotics, say the researchers in their article in Angewandte Chemie.

RUDN University chemists proposed a new way to synthesize catalysts for the conversion of ethyl alcohol. The obtained materials are promising catalysts for the selective conversion of ethanol, which is an important stage in the development of an alternative technology for obtaining valuable chemical synthesis products based on plant raw materials. The results of the study are published in
Catalysis Today.
Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, it is produced from plant material by fermentation of industrial or agricultural waste biomass. It is used as a more environmentally friendly fuel compared to gasoline. But this is not its sole use ethanol can be converted into acetaldehyde, diethyl ether and other chemicals that are i
Atomically thin van der Waals magnets are seen as the ultimately compact media for future magnetic data storage and fast data processing. Controlling the magnetic state of these materials, however, is difficult. But now, an international team of researchers led by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has managed to use light in order to change the anisotropy of a van der Waals antiferromagnet, paving the way to new, extremely efficient means of data storage.
